Metal Hammer is having a vote for the best death metal songs of all time on their site. You can vote for your top 10 out of the 111 they have nominated. It would be nice if they were listed in any sort of order whatsoever, but there's some good stuff nominated. You could certainly do a lot worse than to find these songs as a good overview to the history of death metal.

It also looks like they made an editorial decision to limit the nominees to one song per artist.

i would go for protest the hero since Ive never seen them. I saw AILD prob 4 or 5 times back in like 2003ish? Even though I am not a big fan anymore they are usually fun live. Butttt its a sunday and ill be driving back to SC. ill probably stop in columbia for a bit that night on the way through tho to chill with the advent and giant guys and hopefully catch their sets though

1/27/2009 11:34:14 PM

I'm really just going to see Protest the Hero, but I've heard AILD is a fun time live, and I used to jam to them.

1/27/2009 11:36:20 PM

^^^ When is the Faceless going to be there?

Also, I was thinking that one of the songs on your myspace sounds like on of their songs called, "Legion of the Serpent". I was wondering if there was any influence...

1/27/2009 11:40:56 PM

February.

one of my songs sounds like that?

i think that show was also a sunday or something I remember seeing the date and realizing that I wouldnt be able to be in raleigh for it

1/27/2009 11:43:01 PM

besides all the songs on my myspace came out way before the faceless cd.
but i can tell you what songs i DID rip off

[Edited on January 27, 2009 at 11:46 PM. Reason : wait Pregocidal? i just ripped off at the gates and every dissection song for that one.]

1/27/2009 11:43:49 PM

^^ yeah, super bowl sunday.

1/27/2009 11:44:58 PM

^^ You bastard ripper offer. I think Failed Séance ripped off a few riffs here and there. I used a blast beat alternating 5/8 7/8 section from Fantomas for a nifty sounding riff in on of our songs.

1/27/2009 11:49:08 PM

lol fantomas i forgot about that shit

ill probably repost this somewhere in entertainment since I think a lot of people that would like this dont read this thread since its not a metal band. But i dono maybe sumf00, d7freestyler, or amac884, or Ronny and maybe a few others that post here once in awhile were Beloved fans back in the day.

Anywho Wes Richardson uploaded a video of them playing "kiss it goodbye" back in 2001. they closed like every set but 1 with that song out of the ridiculous amounts of times I saw them live and the crowd was nuts every time. Brought back some good memories.

1/28/2009 1:12:16 PM

hai guise

I'm a metal noob, so recommend me some good bands. So far I know I like AILD and 5 Finger Death Punch. Stuff along those lines would be good. I like loud and heavy but not constant 23059808 / second double bass. Some change in melody and a singer who can actual sing instead of dog bark all the time is welcome too. I just downloaded Protest The Hero since there seem to be a number of people here who like them and they seem really good after a quick listen to a couple tracks.

I like a lot of hardcore, punk, etc, but finding the complexity of metal and metalcore more appealing these days...

1/28/2009 4:36:35 PM

new Wolves in The Throne Room EP is meh

1/28/2009 5:11:06 PM

^^while i dont think we share the same taste in metal (ie i cant stand 5 finger death punch) I think I can take a stab at some bands that you would like based on what you described. they are all on myspace since im too lazy to post links atm:


Killswitch Engage
Every Time I Die
Trivium
Haste the Day

Maybe between the buried and me?

I like 1 or 2 of those bands personally but not big on the rest, but I like I said, these are suggestions for you based on what you gave me to go off of.

Don't know much about metal and this might be a dumb question, but is there any blues metal? LIke with a nice gritty amplified harmonica?

[Edited on January 28, 2009 at 8:59 PM. Reason : d]

AC DC is fairly blues but i dont really consider them metal lol

1/29/2009 12:29:27 AM

most blues metal is shitty, because...

well most non blues metal already over uses (rapes, for lack of a better term) the blues scale.

Zakk Wylde or whatever the fuck his name is. jesus christ. so terrible.

1/29/2009 12:39:20 AM

Blues metal is not that common, and yeah, it's often crappy. What comes to mind for me when I hear that phrase is older stuff that's influenced by some of the bluesier Sabbath and Zeppelin material, or stuff like Aerosmith.

I dunno about harmonica specifically, but try looking into groups like Rhino Bucket, Kix, Pride and Glory (an earlier Zakk Wylde project that is worse than Black Label Society but more "bluesy"), Badlands (couple of guys who used to play with Ozzy and Sabbath), and Blue Murder.

1/29/2009 12:52:57 AM

went from raleigh to columbia to see Advent, Giant, and Torch Runner before heading back to greenville last night; needless to say it was a lot of fun. Advent, although I am not a huge fan of them on CD, are realllly fun and heavy live. And Giant (well they had to change their name, now they are called "BraveYoung") was superb. They have changed their sound up a bit and have 0 vocals now. I guess they were trying to shed the Isis comparison and have gone a lot more atmospheric than heavy but it was a welcome change as it sounded very good live. Was closer to sigur ros and explosions in the sky now than isis or neurosis.

"Burnt By The Sun (Mike Olender – vocals, Dave Witte – drums, John Adubato – guitar, Nick Hale – guitar, Ted Patterson – bass) have entered Trax East Recording Studios in New Jersey to begin work on their long-awaited third full-length album, Heart Of Darkness. Heart Of Darkness, the follow-up to 2003's The Perfect Is The Enemy Of The Good, is being recorded with producer Eric Rachel (Hatebreed, The Red Chord). A late spring/early summer release date through Relapse Records is expected."

Didnt even know they were a band anymore!

I love the music from metal bands but I don't like the screaming. Is there more stuff along the slipknot style of metal? Heavy for me but I can still understand what the vocalist is saying.

2/5/2009 8:40:56 PM

Slipknot is truly terrible
